    Birth control

    I have had period for about six months with only two to three days in between seven to twelve day periods. Calling Tom. My bariatrics surgeon said to go on higher estrogen BC pills. What are others on? Having nexplanon removed can't take this anymore Sent from my XT1254 using BariatricPal mobile app

    Holy Dumping Syndrome, Batman!

    I have to agree with you, I didn't post until just recently bc if felt like people were very judgements when others are just being honest and/or looking for advice/support. I believe that everyone will have a different journey and a different experience, we can make great supports for each other but no one should be making anyone feel small or degraded. Feel proud of yourself for making a difference in your own life and 17lbs it's a great accomplishment!! The puréed food stage was very hard for me as well...I lived off soup, refried beans, and protein drinks!!

    NSV happy!!!

    You are doing great! Don't let your NUT's attitude burst your bubble. I think they act like that bc they think they are "motivating" you when really its discouraging! Every person who goes through this journey will loose at their own pace and I think your doing great! When I started my journey 3 months ago I was in a size 22/24 and 2xl or 3xl tops. As I sit here typing I am wearing a junior size 16 shirts and a medium shirt!! Everyone's progress will be different but in the end as long as your headed in the right direction your in the right track!! Good luck and great job!!!

    TSA body scan anomaly after surgery

    Ugh, I am flying from AZ to Chi in exactly one month, this isn't something I am looking forward to dealing with at the airport. I am 3 days shy of my 3 months post op and only have a little saggy skin in the lower belly area...trying to keep myself fit while I loose the weight bc I'm traveling for my wedding!! Let's hope I can make it through the TSA checks!!

    Do you HAVE to follow a low carb diet?

    This is what I have been hearing for YEARS! So it's what I feel most comfortable eating. Granted, I'm pre-op but health is health. All these low fat or sugar free items are just loaded with junk chemicals. When I'm working out like crazy, and trust me I go HARD, I eat how you described. I'm all about wholesome and balanced. I'm glad to hear someone say that bc that way is the only way I feel comfortable eating FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE
  6. So, i guess a food journal, scales, bs , and how ifeel over a longer time will sorta dictate my path. Avoiding processed carbs #1 regardless.

    Bypass Vs. Sleeve?

    Sleeve to rny here bc I suffered bad gerd n several hiatel hernias since I got sleeved in 2011. I only lost 50 pounds with it originally also and that took year. I'm down 25 since may 1 so fingers crossed rny has better results. Research both options, attend meetings and ask questions...educate yourself on both n do the one u want and the one recommended by an excellent surgeon. This is your life so do for you!!!! Good luck

    HELP! BCBS 6 Month Nutrition Requirement

    I have BC Anthem and am also doing the 6 months. At first I was told it wasn't required and then I got a call from my coordinator and said it was. I was really bummed but then just accepted it, got my head right and am going to my 4th appointment in a few days. I scheduled all of my appointments in he beginning and made them a priority! It has really helped me make gradual changes and I think it is going to make me successful in he long run. I make one change a month that is going to me mandatory after surgery. You can do it! The insurance company does this to make sure you are committed and will be successful- prove that you can!

    opinions on fruit?

    This is true, but to a diabetics body sugar is sugar and it doesn't matter where it comes from. Fruit is natures candy. I love fruit, but I have to be really careful with it. I eat a small portion of blue berries or strawberries, once in a while as these have the least effect on my bs.
  11. Bs can be a tricky thing. See your md that manages your bs and review your food logs with them. Stress, surgery, healing, hormones, all play into bs management.
  12. It is definitely challenging when you are a diabetic and have limited food choices. What medications were you taking before surgery? My doctor told me not everyone is able to stop their medications after surgery. Some will still need them to keep bs controlled. I hope this isn't the case for you.

    No Weight Loss

    Scale is bs right now for me too...up a pound then down. I've official told my scale to kiss my ass at the moment bc it's my nemesis this week. Also I have had zero nausea or pain since surgery but everything I'm trying today is causing belching n pain mid shoulder blades. Don't understand it but I guess the good go with the bad.
  14. Thanks for help......48 g of total carbs in two yogurts and two "half" shakes. 10 days out of sleeve. BS been upper 90s -112 ish till today.no change in carbs, calories.........
  15. Getting band in Mexico but need to make sure I have a place to fill. Any help?
  16. Navigating the Wilderness

    10 days after sleeve, all of a sudden bs

    Definitely tell your surgeon that your bs is complete bs and run some tests.
  17. I see now that your surgery was ten days ago. Have your bs been normal and just today started going up? For me I have been keeping my daily carbs less then 30g mainly because of just focusing on protein and I haven't had a reading above 110. I would keep an eye on your levels and report it to your doctor if they don't come down.
  18. How many carbs are in the yogurt and protein shakes? Believe it or not some shakes have a lot of sugar. Are still taking your diabetes medication? How long ago was your surgery? Stress and healing can cause some people's bs to rise. I would talk to your doctor if it doesn't come down. Not everyone is able to stop their medication after WLS. I hope this helps.
  19. Levels jump from 110ish to 160ish. Eating triple zero oikios yogurt, priemier protein shakes, and tea/ water. Whats up?

    Back to basics and really doing it!

    Agreed! The support on this thread is exactly what the doctor ordered... it's interesting you mention snacking I was looking at my fitness pal and realizing that a lot of the snacks I had preprogrammed in I never bothered to eat! I feel like I'm finally back on the right track-- strangely though just yesterday I was ravenous-- I wonder if that is bc I am ovulating and/ or bc of my Tuesday fit-mill work out?? Any way thanks for the info on proteins, I thought I hadn't been getting enough but I'm landing in the 70-100grams range each day, now if I could figure out if this graph means I'm not eating enough calories or what...I'm really trying not to eat back calories From working out

    Leaving dieting behind

    Hahahaha. Wow. Okay. I didn't think this post would get so many opinions and emotions going!! The Outsidematchinside poster- for some reason she thinks I lie about things on here!? Hahaa okay. Not sure how that would benefit me. She has taken me as some kind of enemy? I don't get it. But whatever. All my old posts are here. Read them if you want. I've told my story multiple times. Sigh. I went through a really really hard time the year after my surgery both physically and mentally. Doesn't make me a liar!! I had bypass. I had complications. I had it reversed to a sleeve. I had a stricture. I relapsed into anorexia. I went to treatment. I learned about Intuitive Eating as a way to both lose and maintain weight. I'm living that way now and it's completely wonderful. The end. Anyway. It's up to you guys what you ultimately want to do with your eating post surgery. I'm not trying to convince you but I am offering a viable alternative to dieting forever. Who wouldn't at least give that a chance? Dieting was actually how I gained most of my 120lbs of excess weight. I would diet, then binge, then feel guilty, diet, repeat. Every time I "fell off the wagon" I gained weight. 3 years After my bariatric surgery I can eat A LOT. I started to repeat that same pattern and I started to panic and gained a little weight. I knew I would diet myself obese again!! I wasn't about to let that happen. That's when I really committed to Intuitive Eating as an alternative. It works for me because: my body isn't deprived, my mind isn't deprived, my metabolism is super fast because it has fuel, and I NEVER binge or even overeat. I don't need to. I'm really well fed all the time. I eat when I am hungry. I stop when I'm full. Of course, I had to change my ideas about what portions looked like to. I don't overeat but my past diet self would have thought so. I eat approx 2000-3000 calories a day. Sometimes more but not usually less. I don't count but once in awhile I tally up out of curiosity. Eating that much is NORMAL. If your going to discount what I'm saying but you don't know anything about Intuitive Eating-- well how do you know I'm not right? I'm not anti bariatric surgery!! Bariatric surgery is an awesome tool to get large amounts of weight off quickly. I do not regret my surgery even with the complications I had. Bariatric surgery changes and saves lives! I'm not here to argue with you all or debate. Intuitive eating works to stabilize ones weight at ones healthiest set point. It doesn't not cause all out gorging. In fact, the opposite is true. I often pass up foods or don't finish things I would have gorged on before. Because I'm allowed to have anything I want, the urge to overeat goes away. But let's take it a step further than what I eat or what I weigh. Let me tell you the best part. I DONT CARE ANYMORE. I'm finally living my life. If my body wants to gain weight- fine!! I stopped believing that my weight equated to my value. I stopped worrying about 5 f**king pounds. Or ten pounds. Who cares?? Being overweight is f**king sexy okay. It's fine. It's not a criminal act. I decided to love myself enough to let go of trying to be more acceptable to other people. My weight has stayed exactly the same for a year now as far as I know. My clothes all still fits. Once in awhile I will take my measurements- they are the same as a year ago. Sometimes I seem to get thinner and sometimes a little bigger but I just know that's normal now. I can't explain to you in words how amazing my life is now. It's changed everything for me. There was no way I could go on with my life continually watching my food intake and making sure I stayed at my goal weight by dieting behavior. I wasn't able to be truly happy. I had to change my behavior and I had to start loving myself regardless of my weight. I had to stop the obsession with food and weight and the guilt!! You're all gonna do what you want to do. I'm offering a hand out to those who might want a different way. I'm just here to help. I don't check every day but I will reply to messages if you want to talk. I've included some more pictures so you can see I'm not a lying POS. bahahaaa. [emoji849] Also I have an Instagram devoted to Intuitive eating. You can go to it and follow if you want to! I'm in a few support groups for Intuitive Eating on Facebook as well and there are many members with past bariatric surgeries there. Instagram: @afeastonyourlife Before surgery At my lowest weight. [emoji20] yuck! Lowest weight vs. after a year of Intuitive Eating A typical meal for me. I love ketchup!!! Me and my adorable kids last Sunday!! I'm raising them to be intuitive eaters as well! A week or so ago on a work trip. That's me! Not a liar. Not a crazy person. Not an anomaly. Just another (formally) fucked up eater trying to figure out how to live healthy and happy.

    Pissy

    I hear you sister!! Started putting PB in my shake bc I can't stand the flavor anymore. So sick of soups too. Today I'm allowed to start purees and have my first follow up with surgeon. Cannot wait! How've you been doing as far as losing? I feel like I've stalled, was losing about 1lb a day and it just stopped when I began adding in full liquids. Feeling frustrated.

    Leaving dieting behind

    Keep your body biologically fed with adequate energy and carbohydrates. (Carbs. Yes. Let's see, first I'll have some peeps, maybe later, some potatoes, and if I walk, I can eat that entire container of Halo Top Ice Cream since it has protein, too.) If you tell yourself that you can’t or shouldn’t have a particular food, it can lead to intense feelings of deprivation that build into uncontrollable cravings and, often, bingeing When you finally “give-in” to your forbidden food, eating will be experienced with such intensity, it usually results in Last Supper overeating, and overwhelming guilt. (I can't cut myself off from anything. Pizza time! Uh oh, I ate the whole thing -- how did I do that? I thought I had restriction.) Scream a loud “NO” to thoughts in your head that declare you’re “good” for eating minimal calories or “bad” because you ate a piece of chocolate cake. (I have been eating chocolate cake every night this week. That has pushed me to more calories than my body needs considering that I am not exercising at all. Oh well; I'll do better tomorrow, but I never do.) Listen for the body signals that tell you that you are no longer hungry. (Being morbidly obese, I have had a lot of success in this area...) When you eat what you really want, in an environment that is inviting and conducive, the pleasure you derive will be a powerful force in helping you feel satisfied and content. (See Roseanne comment from earlier...) Find ways to comfort , nurture, distract, and resolve your issues without using food. (Again, great for people who have re-defined their relationship with food. But none of the people mentioned have done that, or are even close to doing that.) Accept your genetic blueprint. Just as a person with a shoe size of eight would not expect to realistically squeeze into a size six, it is equally as futile (and uncomfortable) to have the same expectation with body size. But mostly, respect your body, so you can feel better about who you are. It’s hard to reject the diet mentality if you are unrealistic and overly critical about your body shape. (How many posts a day on here from people freaked out because they have "only" lost 60 pounds in 6 months. Again, consider the audience.) Forget militant exercise. Just get active and feel the difference. Shift your focus to how it feels to move your body, rather than the calorie burning effect of exercise. If you focus on how you feel from working out, such as energized, it can make the difference between rolling out of bed for a brisk morning walk or hitting the snooze alarm. If when you wake up, your only goal is to lose weight, it’s usually not a motivating factor in that moment of time. (Great for those that are exercising. How many posts say -- I know I need to exercise, but...) Again, these are great for people who are at a certain place in their journey. But that isn't the majority of people that post on here. They will read and hear what they want to read and hear.

    Leaving dieting behind

    I think the problem is many of us need to change our attitudes about eating. We need to eat to live and not live to eat. I think many of those principles are great, but not all of us or even many of us, would be able to just intuitively eat correctly to the point of not regaining weight or losing some aspect of our health, such as controlled diabetes without medication. I absolutely think we need to correct any bad habits or mental aspects related to our eating. I have already changed my mindset in that I no longer view how I am eating as a diet. It is a lifestyle and it is still evolving, but it will be how I eat for life. This is just my opinion and I am always learning, and will adjust if I feel compelled that I need to. In some ways my type 2 diabetes is helping me now believe it or not. By checking my bs daily I have a concrete way of gauging how what I am eating, is effecting my body, and by tracking my foods, I can make adjustments as needed. I got in the habit of keeping a food journal when I was diagnosed so it has become second nature to me and is not a bother at all.

    Leaving dieting behind

    Exactly. And she has a long history of lying here, and she previously admitted that she lied. So how can anyone believe anything she says at all? Almost everyone that was here when she was spinning her fantasical lies and called her out on it are gone. So she feels perfectly comfortable to come back, reinvent herself as some new age eating guru and spew more BS. If anyone dares to call her on her BS or remember all the lies she told she just plays victim. She is completely toxic.
